As Principal at David A. Mason, PLLC, I am able to offer the same quality legal representation at almost half the price I billed as a partner in major international firms, and focus more on some of the world changing ideas I want to help come to fruition. I continue to add value to client businesses though leading transactional matters, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, including venture capital, private equity and private lending; and advising on all manner of corporate governance and strategy, including for start-ups, in technology, real estate, retail, entertainment and fashion, with increasing activity in impact investing, conflict resolution and as ‘outside general counsel’ to multiple companies, high net worth individuals and charities.

I have been honored to be elected to the Board of Directors to Yele Haiti, founded by Wyclef Jean and Jerry Duplessis, which focuses on renewing hope in Haiti, particularly among youth, and fostering advances in Art, Education, and the Environment. GET INVOLVED!

Represented clients in a variety of M&A, franchising, and real estate and general finance activities, as well as corporate governance.

Focused on M&A and securities representation of Fortune 500 and financial services companies.

Document review and revision, due diligence exercises, but unlike many junior associates, because I demonstrated exceptional issue spotting (I caught a bankruptcy issue the entire Bankruptcy Department missed), on some transactions I was given far more responsibility, including prospectus drafting, and was billed out as a fifth year associate.
